She's Arrived

Lucky John · Mar 8, 2007

My new 2120 has arrived at the dealer as promised.She's full of snow from yesterdays storm,but they are going to clean her up and paint her bottom next week.The rigger can install the electronics and I should be good to g

nly problem is my marina usually doesn't let anyone put a boat in till April 15th.I have splashed the first week of April the last couple of years,but just need the owners permission first.I guess I can go out and buy a few more tidbits for her now.
If I knew how to post a picture from a cell phone I would,but maybe my daughter can help me later when she gets back from nursing school.Right now I have some major wood happening.

We just traded our 2120SC for a 2320SC at the VA Beach boat show in Feb. Right now I'm sitting in a motel in Beaufort NC with an appointment to visit the Parker plant tomorrow and see the boat in progress. Robin was very kind to let us in on short notice. The plant is just the other side of BFE if you know what I mean.. very quiet around here this time of year. Our experience with the 2120 was 98% positive which is unusual for a boat and I had no thoughts of going with any other brand - only how big could I go and the 2320 is a good size jump. Going from 2-stroke to 4-stroke which should be nice. Great boat and great company.

Robin escorted my father and me through the factory in Mar of 02. Was really impressed with the factory and the way they build the boats. She was very personable, and clearly understood that building quality boats and talking to the customers was a winner. Dad talked to Linwood for about 30 minutes...traded stories about building old wooden boats...and I had to drag him out of there.

Definately a very good experience. You will come away with an even greater appreciation for how well your boat is built.

For his twelfth birthday, my Grandson, Max, received a fishing trip on the charter fishing boat Just Right (32' Judge Express) out of Long Bay Point marina. He, his Dad Ross, brother Wally and Cousin Rob and I met at the pier at 5PM and were warned by Captain Justin that drum fishing had been spotty and we would be lucky to catch a few. We anchored off Fisherman's Island on the end of the incoming tide and Max quickly caught a small black drum. As the sun dropped to the horizon and the tide began to turn, the fishing heated up. By the end of the evening, we had boated three black drum, seventeen reds, and all five of us caught citation fish! Max hauled in four fish on his own, one of which was the biggest fish of the night at forty eight and a half inches. He successfully fought one fish for twenty minutes. Way to go, Max! Thanks to Captain Justin, Mate Townsend and the Just Right for a great evening of fishing.
